Arrest Netanyahu? European moves spark fresh tensions with Israel
Hungary will enforce ICC warrants, increasing the chance Netanyahu could be detained if he enters the country, officials said.
- On Monday, Hungarian election winner Peter Magyar confirmed the country will remain an International Criminal Court member, reversing Viktor Orbán's withdrawal attempt and stating Hungary would detain Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters.
- This shift reflects widening divisions between Israel and Europe, following disputes with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer during the conflict in Gaza.
- Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni suspended her country's defense agreement with Israel six days ago, while Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez proposed the European Union halt its strategic Association Agreement.
- German Chancellor Friedrich Merz urged Israel last week not to engage in "de facto annexation" of the West Bank, while Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich voiced sharp criticism regarding these shifting policies.
- French President Emmanuel Macron scheduled talks Tuesday with Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam in Paris to secure lasting peace, addressing territorial integrity and Hezbollah's disarmament.
